The 'Bhoomi Rashi' portal, launched to bring notifications related to land acquisition, compensation, and related information onto a single platform, now has 3,291 NHAI projects registered.

As of December last year, only 1,467 projects were registered on this portal. This means that the number of projects has more than doubled in the previous eight months. The portal also provides detailed information on the acquired land and the compensation awarded for it.
